This tiki drink, believed to have been invented at the Kuala Lumpur Hilton in 1978, has recently lurched from obscurity to ubiquity. It is a favorite among mixologists, and a natural for home bartenders, because it contains only five ingredients: rum, Campari, pineapple and lime juices and simple syrup. The New York bartender Giuseppe Gonzalez tweaked the original, replacing dark Jamaica rum with the more intense blackstrap rum.
